A touch of savanna with the 3D origami elephant
Silent, powerful, deeply calming. The elephant enters your home as a 3D origami model to build, piece by piece. As you work with the paper, the silhouette comes to life, volumes take shape, and a quiet presence settles in. A suspended, almost meditative moment that turns a simple creative activity into a true decorative ritual.
These models naturally find their place on a bookshelf, sideboard, or desk. And if you feel like exploring other animal silhouettes, the elephant papercraft collection is full of inspiring variations.
Two elephant models, two atmospheres
This papercraft features two distinct elephants, each with its own personality. The first stands out with its impressive stature and becomes a statement piece. The second, more compact, offers understated elegance. The choice is yours… or assemble both to create a true visual dialogue.
- Elephant 1: 28 cm high, 25 cm wide, 40 cm deep – 13 pages – 39 pieces.
- Elephant 2: 20 cm high, 16 cm wide, 260 cm deep – 6 pages – 33 pieces.
Each model uses cardstock in the color of your choice, allowing you to easily adapt the final look to your interior, from natural tones to bolder contrasts.
An accessible and rewarding creation
Rated as easy difficulty, this project is suitable for curious beginners as well as experienced 3D origami enthusiasts. The steps follow a clear, logical flow: cut, fold, assemble, glue. Nothing unnecessary. Just the pleasure of seeing an elegant paper sculpture take shape in your hands.
